dawn.com

Defence Minister Khawaja Asif was the most vocal MNA in the National Assembly's second year, speaking for nearly six hours. A Pildat survey found Omar Ayub, Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, Tariq Fazal, and Barrister Gohar among the top five speakers. The assembly passed 59 bills, a significant increase, and reliance on ordinances decreased. Despite high legislative output, attendance declined, and nearly half of agenda items were left unfinished. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif attended only six sittings.
